Colorado Trip!

Were leaving for grand mesa for a week of snowmobiling! I'm hoping to get 13-14 mpg pulling a open 4 place trailer with 4 sleds. Last year before mods
11-12 mpg was my average. Its nice to have to fuel up only 2 times.

Colorado is such an awesome place. I was worried about some of the grades myself but she handled them just fine. Then again I have a mild tune.

Have fun! Take pictures!
